Okay then, so, for me, noble means helping the poor and downtrodden and minorities and to you, noble means restricting the rights of those same people. Good to know!
Or that I value personal responsibities and you value gov't handouts.  Either one.

Also, for those unaware, Matthew Shepard was a young man who was abducted, tortured and murdered because he was gay. DWDL is now attacking him.

You don't value personal responsibilities. You want everyone to belong to the same religion as you. That removes the responsibility of choosing a faith. You are a religious socialist.

You also value voting rights being taken away and people who have aids to be quarantined.

How utterly typical of a socialist: he wants to bring the gulags back.

It's hard to exercise personal responsibility when you're a second class citizen, bro.

DWDL has lost all claims of being even remotely libertarian as of right now.

Jesse Helms was a piece of shit racist hatemonger who did nothing but damage this country and inflame decades old hatred for political gain. He was an awful human being and the world is better off with him burning in hell. No apologies.
Oh and I fully agree with this. Fuck Jesse Helms, I hate sharing my name with such awful pieces of trash.
I feel the same way about Matthew Shepherd

What's actually Matthew Shepherd did wrong?

Jesse Helms wanted to ... not have MLK day as a holiday.

Neither do I, but that's because we have far too many federal holidays as it is, especially that time of year.  If MLK could only have been born sometime in late July or early August when we could use another holiday, it wouldn't be nearly as objectionable.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I don't like the fact that there are any public holidays. The create a government-backed hierarchy of values. But please, do try to be thorough in your posturing.

The difference is that you oppose it for fairly practical reasons. He opposed it because he was a rascist asshole and his actions support this.

Who's the hypocrite now?

Trashing on Kennedy for "murdering" Mary Jo, but celebrating the murder of Matthew Shepherd.

It's things like that that truly makes me lose any ounce of respect I had for you.

I hope it's just teenaged ignorance talking from you.

He never was a libertarian.  He is an economic anarchist with a few socially moderate positions, but closely follows the Christian morals on gays and abortion.

In other words, he loves liberty as long as you're like him and his family.

What the fuck, DWTL. The kid was tortured to death because of his sexuality and left to hang somewhere to slowly die. Attacking him and saying you hate sharing any part of your name with him is easily the most disgusting thing you've ever said and if you've ever needed a reason for being banned, this should be it.

I'm quite glad I don't live anywhere near you.

Edit: No, you're lucky I don't.

DWTL = One of the reasons why Ron Paul isn't President, or didn't even win a primary. Too much trolling on the internet and putting down anyone who doesn't share his views, just like many other Ron Paul supporters.

Anyway, Jesse Helms was a pretty awful man, but RIP.

No, because you view Matthew Shepard as more of a martyr for hate crime legislation than you do as an innocent human being who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. If you had said you are ashamed of how his death has become politicized, then maybe I wouldn't say anything but no you went the full monty and said you were ashamed to even share the same name as Matthew Shepard. Hate crime legislation is counter productive, but so is labeling people who have been murdered just because they were of a different sexual orientation, race, gender, what have you, as political martyrs for a specific issue instead of what they really are: victims.

Really?  Do you know how many worse comments are posted about conservatives when they die who aren't murderers?
